The superfamily of heptahelical receptors.

Nature cell biology - 1 Jul 2000

Lefkowitz R J

Abstract excerpt

Despite a growing appreciation of functional analogies between visual and hormonal signalling systems in the early 1980s, the discovery of the close structural relationship between rhodopsin and the beta2-adrenergic receptor, and of the existence of a larger 'superfamily' of such receptors, came as a total surprise. Here I provide a personal perspective on events leading up to and flowing from this exciting...
